A phased renovation project will take place at EVPL Oaklyn, beginning in August 2025 and lasting into the first half of 2026.

The project is being done in multiple phases to help reduce disruption of library services or experiences.

Project Overview

Phase 1 includes the expansion and renovation of the meeting room. The meeting room will be expanded out into the front of the building, creating a larger space to meet the needs of our community.

This phase will create three key changes for visitors:

  • The entrance to EVPL Oaklyn’s parking lot will be re-routed away from the front of the building. This means that the current one-way exit from the parking lot will become a two-way entrance/exit. Signage will mark this change.
  • The exterior book drop will be relocated to a different area of the parking lot.
  • Some recurring programs at EVPL Oaklyn will be temporarily hosted at EVPL North Park until the meeting room renovations are complete.

Details about future phases will be posted to this page, with regular updates via EVPL social media.
